The comptroller has received the as
SCISSORS rolls from Greer county, and
doesn't know what to do IN the case. The
lands haven't been surveyed yet under the
new law, and a very plain spoken decision
of the supreme court sits on the other
side of the fence. The land commissioner
is going ahead with his work, but that
doesn't seem to affect the peculiar inter
ests of this case, which, it is presumed,
will go to the attorney general for an
opinion.

Just say 80, and 1 will send legislator

The governor has received very cor
dial invitation to attend the reunion OF
the Eleventh Texas cavalry,at Gainesville,
on August IL. He has been forced to de.
cline it on account of engagements
already made.
Owing to the fact that the next scho
lastic year will be shorter by one month
than that of last year, the per capita
appointment will be proportionately in
creased, and will, in reality, be larger
than that of last year.
Comptroller Mccall does not believe the
assessment rolls for the next year will
differ materially from last year, the
falling off in the drouth region being
made up by the increase elsewhere.
